To people who have worked on both, what is the main difference in responsibility for a consultant working on a COTS delivery project compared to more bespoke agile one? I have experience in agile bespoke delivery, would I find it easy to switch to COTS implementation?

COTS requires knowledge of the product to maximize it's potential to do what the client wants. A good consultant will also get the client to consider the end result, and not necessarily how it's achieved because there's only so much you can change in COTS. Custom development projects let you do whatever the client wants as long as it doesn't wreck the budget or schedule, so the key challenge there is actually making it work in a reasonable amount of time.
